    I’ve taken both around the Nürburgring. The 3RS is one of the easiest cars ever to drive fast, but in the right hands the GTR is definitely faster. The torque is just crazy!

    Drove a GTS and I can't imagine having nearly another 100hp on tap with the GTR. These cars are becoming the performance car bargain of all time very quickly. Plus they just make more of a statement than a 911.

    The mark of a nicely tuned exhaust behind a powerful engine; it sets off other car alarms! In all seriousness though, some of Maserati’s security systems were on a hair trigger. My older QP goes berserk from time to time over the silliest things. Glad to see that’s never changed lmao

    The SLS and AMG GT classes are destined to be future classics. The SLS AMG Black Series will become the 300SL per say, and the AMG GTR Black maybe the future CLK GTR. Undeniable leaders in every category for their class. Personally, I hope to pick up my own AMG GT (maybe the GTC or GTS) for around $50-80K in hopefully 5ish years. Not only will I have the best super/sports car from this age, I think it should go up in value a lot too!

      Thanks! Assuming you're keeping the car for a while I'd go GT3. I LOVE this GT R but for long term abuse I'd rather deal with an NA engine and never worry about repairs on a hot V turbo setup. I wouldn't recommend the R8 as a track car.
